Psoriatic arthritis flared up in my entire body that has made it impossible to sleep or even really exist for the last week and a half.

It would be awesome to just not hurt for a few hours.

I hope it calms down, I cannot even imagine what that must be like. Do you have access to people with experience with this? Support groups, or even one mentor?

I could probably find one with a little effort but the fatigue is crazy. I can barely keep myself awake during the day and can't sleep at night.

I think it's starting to calm down a bit now at least.

I hope that when you're feeling better you can use that time to find a way to get more support. But more than all, I hope you're feeling better. Lean on your friends, they love you.

I know nothing about psoriatic arthritis but I do know a little about joint inflammation. I read about how an imbalance of omega fatty acids can cause inflammation and after taking a fish oil pill most of the pain went away in my knees. Would that be something you could try?

Diet changes are one of the major things I've been working on that has made the last little bit rough. I've been cooking a lot more, primarily oily fishes which I love, but I did cut out the trash sugars and caffeine that I use as a crutch.

Almost daily mackerel and salmon has been awesome though. Saba shioyaki is probably my favorite comfort food and I never realized how easy it was to make. I'll have to give the actual fish oil pills a try though, thanks!
